WHAT/WHO: Keynote address by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud
WHEN: May 28, 2005: Saturday Evening Gala Banquet
WHERE: ADC Convention, Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, the Saudi Arabia royal billionaire, has
become a major player in Saudi Arabia’s propaganda campaign, which is
aimed at providing it’s archaic, Wahabbi-funding regime with a humane
face. Bin Talal has done so by whitewashing the role the Saudis have
played in promoting Islamic and Wahabbi intolerance towards non-Muslims
and radical Salafist movements, which engage in terror and stealth
Jihad. To accomplish his task, he has bought a slice of American and
Western academia, and increasingly, the media.
In an expensive (approximately $295K) full-page advertisement
published in the Wall Street Journal, Alwaleed Bin Talal stated: “We are
dedicated to build a bridge of communication between East and West to
achieve a comprehensive tolerance beyond geographical boundaries.”

The ad shows images of academic institutions where the Alwaleed Bin
Talal foundation has invested millions, including the Program for
Islamic Studies at Harvard University; the Center for Islamic-Christian
Understanding at Georgetown University; the Center for the Study of
Islam in the Modern World at Edinburgh University, Scotland; the Centre
for Islamic Studies at Cambridge, UK; a program for Furthering
Understanding Scholarship Scheme at the Institute of Arab and Islamic
Studies at Exeter University, UK. These are just some of the Western
institutions Bin Talal is invested in. Others include the Islamic Art
Wing at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and the Centres for American
Studies and Research at the American University of Cairo (Egypt) and
Beirut (Lebanon).
In what appears to be a mission statement at the bottom of the full-page ad, there was this:

Supporting cultural diversity through dialogue, the
Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation embraces the tremendous diversity of
people, religions, and cultures around the world. In support of this
belief, the Foundation has established academic and cultural centers at
iconic institutions to nurture our common interests and potential. By
supporting historical research, open dialogue, and objective analysis,
the Foundation lays the groundwork for mutual understanding among
nation.

So who is Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, this “philanthropist” who wants to “achieve tolerance beyond geographical boundaries?
Appearing on Fox News on August 26, 2010, Dan Senor, a former Bush administration official hinted that Feisal Abdul Rauf, the “Ground Zero Mosque” imam, received financial support from Alwaleed Bin Talal’s foundation.
Although Dan Senor did not mention the prince’s name, he qualified him
by saying, “The Kingdom Foundation [Bin Talal's foundation], so you
know, is this Saudi organization, headed up by the guy who tried to give
Rudy Giuliani $10 million after 9/11 that was sent back. “ The money
was returned because Alwaleed bin Talal had suggested that U.S. policies
in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. Senor also
inferred that Alwaleed Bin Talal has “funded radical madrasas all over
the world.”
In her February 5, 2010 blog, Diana West
asked rhetorically if Fox News should register as a Saudi agent. She
wrote: “Alwaleed bin Talal’s charm-blitz through NY, juxtaposing Fox
News’ Neil Cavuto’s sweetheart interview with “the prince” and Charlie
Rose’s far more revealing conversation – essentially, it’s…all Israel’s
fault, and “my” 1.5 billion Muslims are all like the ‘underpants’
bomber’s father [who informed authorities about his terrorist son].”

West pointed out that “just as Steven Emerson believes that American
universities using Saudi mega-millions (many from Alwaleed Bin Talal) to
set up Islamic studies departments should register as Saudi agents, I
believe an American news channel part-owned and part-influenced by the
Saudi prince should, too.”
Alwaleed Bin Talal’s “contributions” to U.S. institutions are
attributable to the anti-Saudi backlash that followed 9/11, which
prompted his 2005 purchase of a 5.5 percent stake in News Corp and his
“gifts” of $20 million to both Georgetown and Harvard Universities, also
in 2005.
Alwaleed Bin Talal’s spending spree includes a $500,000 check in 2002
to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas and Muslim
Brotherhood-linked entity, and, also in 2002, a whopping $27 million to
the families of Palestinian “martyrs” — aka suicide bombers.

Diana West referred to Alwaleed’s self-described “very close
relationship” with Rupert Murdoch’s son and heir-apparent, James
Murdoch, a left-wing global-warming alarmist with virulently anti-Israel
views, and suggested this should deepen Americans’ concerns about Fox’s
ties to “the prince.”
Asked by Charlie Rose
in a Bloomberg Businessweek interview (1/21/10), whether he is
confident about the future given his huge investment in News Corp,
Alwaleed Bin Talal replied:

I have a very close relationship with Mr. James Murdoch.
James is now managing Europe and Asia. I would be the first one to
nominate him to be the successor of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, God forbid
something happens. I have full trust in him. He is really a Rupert
Murdoch in the making, and he’s almost there. And I told that to Mr.
Murdoch.

An apologist for radical Islam, the US-educated Alwaleed Bin Talal
provides clever answers that suit American ears when he is interviewed.
In response to Charlie Rose’s question about whether the world’s
perception of Islam is misunderstood, he said:

After 9/11, the world changed, and Islam came under
attack. You had all these terrorist acts on U.S. soil committed by
Muslims and Arabs and Saudis. So I don’t really blame the West for being
worried about Islam. But you cannot generalize and say all Arabs or
Muslims are terrorists. All the discussion has been around the Somali
guy who tried to bomb the airplane, but his father turned him in… This
guy represents me and all my 1.3 billion Muslims. Not the guy with the
bomb. Islam means peace[.]

Alwaleed Bin Talal understands that the nature of the Saudi regime,
with its denial of religious freedom in the kingdom and its teaching of
intolerance and hatred towards Jews, Christians, Israel and even
America, does not render it a friend of America. Furthermore, the
Wahabbi-Islam that Bin Talal represents is contrary to everything
Americans with Judeo-Christian values believe in. Bin Talal has
therefore taken upon myself the task of influencing the way Americans
think, and he is doing it by buying off Western academic and cultural
institution such as Harvard, Georgetown, Cambridge, etc., where a
sanitized version of Islam and its relationship to the infidel West is
being taught.
Bin Talal has reasoned correctly that if Islamists cannot win over
the American people through their true beliefs, then they must feed them
twisted reality in the form of “news” through their expensive
Washington lobbyists and increased media control (as with Fox News and
the Wall Street Journal). This allows the Saudi façade as “a friend of
America” to remain.
